PolysacDB ID1455
Carbohydrate NameLipopolysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeHaemophilus ducreyi   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureIt consist of an oligosaccharide core ketosidically linked via a 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) residue to the lipid A region. The oligosaccharide core characteristic of these bacteria has been divided into two regions: (i) an inner core, consisting of three L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (Hep) residues and one phosphorylated Kdo residue, and (ii) an outer core, with one or more heterogeneous oligosaccharide branches containing mainly galactose (Gal) and glucose (Glc) residues
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed functionsLPS plays an important role in the infection process
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesTotal membrane preparation of H. ducreyi
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab DP8
Antibody type and classIgG1
Assay SystemWhole-cell enzyme immunoassay (Enzyme Immunoassay) and colony dot immunoblotting
Cross-reactivityThis Mab cross-reacted with 50 strains of H. ducreyi but not with any other bacteria tested
Proposed epitopesPhosphate groups seemed to be an important part of the epitope. The epitope consists of Glcβ1-->4Hepα1-->Kdo(P) that is linked via 1-->3 linkage to Hepα1-->2Hep
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab would help to detect the organism in environmental samples and clinical specimens
